An electron is very small. So small that you cant even see it with an electron microscope (because it uses electron to detect itself). It's mass is tiny. Billions of times less than a kg. It's just one type of matter. Some estimates put the number of electrons in the universes at greater than 10100. So no, the universe is not an electron.

Is any electron different from any other electron?

No. The properties of one electron will be the exact same as any electron anywhere else in the universe, barring momentum.


What is the Wave function of single electron in the universe?

The wave function of a single electron in the universe describes the probability distribution of finding the electron at a given position and time. It is a mathematical function that contains all the information about the electron's quantum state. The wave function evolves over time according to the Schrödinger equation.

What does hydrogen consist of?

Hydrogen consists of one proton and one electron. It is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe.


Why don't electron go inside proton?

In our Universe, various quantities come in "chunks" called "quanta." Amongst these are electricity, which cannot come in any amount smaller than one elementary charge. For (relatively) large things, we can have two objects separated by distances (in micrometers) of 1.000 or 2.000 or 1.500 or 1.379. However, as objects get smaller and smaller, we find that, in our Universe, the quantitization of quantities becomes more and more important. One such quantized quantity is energy state. Basically, when an electron is within the electric field of a proton, our Universe REQUIRES that the electron be in a specific orbital (try not to confuse that word with "orbits," which implies that the electron is circling around the proton) outside the proton. The lowest possible orbital that our Universe will permit an electron to be around a proton is the 's' orbital, in which the electron is MOST LIKELY to be about one angstrom from the proton, with no preference for direction. In other words, this orbital resembles (note the word!) a shell. Our Universe will not permit an electron to be in any lower energy state; ie, it can NOT get any closer to a proton. Don't like this fact about our Universe? Unfortunately, this is the one we'll have to learn about -- we don't have any other Universes to choose from.


What is the definition of the word hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the lightest (it is a gas) and most abundant element in the Universe. A hydrogen atom consists of a single proton and a single electron, making it the simplest atom in the Universe.

Why are the electron located in a different part of the atom than the proton?

In our Universe, in which the rules of quantum mechanics rule for sub-atomic particles, the probability of an electron being inside a nucleus is vanishingly small. Its most likely position is on the order of one angstrom away from the nucleus. Summing up, an electron is away from the proton because the laws that govern our Universe won't allow it to be close.
